Goodbye then dear Al. A small part of me always kept hoping that somehow it wasn't true. Farewell mate and thank you.

seriously average

I've recently discovered the interesting Statistics section here on MeetFighters and am amazed at just how very, very average I am. I mean, anyone who's wrestled me knows that, but well, I really am seriously average:-

  • age: mean 41 years; median 40 years; me 42 years (2.4% older than average)
  • height: mean and median 5' 10"; me 5' 11" (1.4% taller than average)
  • weight: mean 180 lbs; median 176 lbs; me 185 lbs (2.8% heavier than average)
  • BMI: mean 26; median 25; me 25.6 (2% slimmer than average)

The only area where I'm not spectacularly average is, apparently, in my number of past opponents:-

  • past opponents: mean 6 past opponents; median 1 past opponent; me 29 past opponents

And this is what's really interesting (rather than very average me): if the mean number of past opponents is 6 but the median is just 1, that's a massive number of guys who've gone to the trouble of setting themselves up a MeetFighters profile but who've never actually wrestled (boxed/fought/whatever) someone off here. Really? That just seems such a shame. I've been having such a great time meeting and wrestling some amazing lads on my seven months on this awesome site, and I wish I'd found it years ago, it seems like such a pity to me to register on MeetFighters to, well, meet fighters and then, erm, not.... OK, not everyone's as lucky as me to live in a very accessible big city with lots of keen wrestlers and lots of matrooms to get to grips with them but c'mon guys---a median of one past opponent?!

If there's a point to this blogpost it's this: can I encourage you, if you're on this site and you've not asked anyone else on it for a match yet, go on, do it. Look at the profile of someone who looks more-or-less compatible, send them a message, meet them and wrestle! (Or box, or whatever floats your boat.) Go on. I'm sure you'll have just as good a time as this seriously average wrestler....
